I'm unsure, but if that is an African Violet...they are fairly difficult to maintain/grow. So, don't be too hard on yourself in this case.

One year, I received a Flower Bulb Kit and it was so great to watch the flower grow/bloom. I highly recommend growing one with your little one...use a clear vase, so she can see the roots sprout along with the flower (educational). The one I received was an Amaryllis and it was gorgeous. You can buy the flower bulbs at your local garden store and pickup the rest of the materials you will need at the dollar store. These also make for great Valentine's Day gifts for your loved ones. You can store extra bulbs in the fridge until you're ready to use them. The Amaryllis I had grew to about 18" in height...such a great gift idea. I loved it.

Don't know if this is a pet peeve but it bugs me. The Carly Simon song "You're So Vain". If you're not familiar with the song she sings "you're so vain, you probably think this song is about you". Well, whoever she is singing the song about is not vain because the song freaking is about them. Whew. Glad I got that off my chest.
